elm stands for ``electronic mail'' and is one of the more reasonably
named tools. It provides a full-screen interface with a good help
feature. We won't discuss here how to use elm, but only dwell on its
configuration options.

Theoretically, you can run elm unconfigured, and everything works
well--- if you are lucky. But there are a few options that must be set,
although only required on occasions.

When it starts, elm reads a set of configuration variables from the
elm.rc file in /usr/lib/elm. Then, it will attempt to read the file
.elm/elmrc in your home directory. You don't usually write this file
yourself. It is created when you choose ``save options'' from elm's
options menu.

The set of options for the private elmrc file is also available
in the global elm.rc file. Most settings in your private
elmrc file override those of the global file.
